Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim
Al hamdu Lillahi wa Salatu was Salam ala Sayidina Muhammad while
early he or Safi or Baraka was seldom at the Sleeman Kathira in
Iommi, DEEN Ahmedabad
poem number 32 and number 33.
And until now Allama boo city hasn't mentioned
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam his name. He just started
off with describing with his descriptions and some
characteristics.
So he says that I oppressed the Sunnah of the one who enliven the
night, the dark nights, and praying until his feet complained
of painful swelling over his belly and soft skin, he placed the stone
tightening a belt over it to lessen the hunger pangs. high
mountains, tried to tempt him, but by turning to gold, but he showed
them lofty heights upon height, he showed them that he was even
higher than them. So until now, as you notice, he hasn't, he hasn't
mentioned the name of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. He's just
trying to create again, this is the way poets work, they tried to
create an interest suspense, who is this great individual, who even
mountains could not seduce him away from the right path?
And then he says, what occurred Zoda who fie her doura to who? In
durata Hola, Terra. Do hola Larry Sami
what occurred Zubeida houfy Her durata who? In durata la Terra do
another SME? What can you further the rue Illa dunya. dura to man
Lola who alum tahajjud dunya mineral Atomy. His constraints
through poverty only confirmed his detachment from them. So very
complex statement it's going to be it's going to have to be explained
a need such as his shall not lead to transgression. How could
poverty tempt him to worldliness when but for him the world would
not have been brought from the void.
So again, he hasn't mentioned him and then it's in the next poem
number 34. Where he says Mohammed don't say you do COVID-19 US
Soccer Laney Well, 30 Laney Minar or have been WebinarJam German.
That's when he finally that's when he finally discusses the name.
nubby unil army runner he further above Rafi Colin Minho. The Colin
mean, who was an Army.
Okay.
So let's take the first one that he worked at the houfy had dura to
who in durata la Terra de la Sami
in durata, la terre Dora al aissami. So that one is his
country, his constraints through poverty only confirmed his
detachment from them a need such as his shall not lead to
transgression. What is he saying? What does he mean by that?
First and foremost, he talks about Zoid, which is what he has been
describing the fact that you can avoid the mountains being made of
gold and you don't want them you can shun them and deny them and
say I don't want them. That can only be for one reason. somebody's
giving you a huge amount. I don't want it because I've got something
better.
It's like okay, Take these chocolates right now. But if you
don't have these, we got better ones that whoever has them, they
can't have any better ones. So it's that kind of a thing. What
does that mean?
That essentially means to abandon something to avoid something to
turn away from something and then turn your attention away from it
as well not like okay, I'm not going to take it but man my
heart's in it. And if it really bad
that way, why don't I take it you know, sometimes you give somebody
preference over yourself and then you feel like why did they do that
for so you really feel bad inside? That's not good. Zod is when
you've given something over and then you feel helpless hamdulillah
for example, let's just say you give somebody a really good you've
got something really nice and Allah put it into your heart that
you should give it away Linda now don't call me Mater hipbone, you
can only gain absolute piety if you give something you know
something serious. So you've got a really nice bar of chocolate.
Somebody gifted you you know something really exquisite and you
like chocolates, but then you give it to somebody and you feel bad
about it that man you know Subhanallah but then you satisfy
yourself that no I did this for the sake of Allah subhanho wa
Taala otherwise, how can you get any other kind of satisfaction. So
that's what you call zoom in that way you turn your heart away from
it as well. Not just your physical body away from it and your heart
still lingers on it. That's what you call serious Zod.
Now this is despite whether you had ability to have it in the
first place or not.
So one is that I've got all of these things at my disposal but I
don't want to use them. I'd rather give give them away for the sake
of Allah. The other one is I don't have them, but then my heart
doesn't inclined towards them anyway. I can't get them even if I
tried like a nice car, you know, some something really exquisite. I
can't get it anywhere, I don't have the money.
The house in Knightsbridge, or wherever it is, you know, it's
that is supposed to be nice. Right? Or in Walthamstow.
I'm only joking.
So it's not not even, you know, having that desire. That's what
you call the HUD.
And this is also despite whether you're in need of it or not.
Of course we are, we're never going to abandon things that were
in need of that's beyond our, you know, level right now. But to
abandon things that we don't really need. But it's because it's
a new product. It's a really nice new flat panel with a very thin
bezel now. So you get a lot more screen space, and there's no frame
around it. There's hardly a frame. So it's just like, the picture is
popping out of the wall.
Have you seen those, they're like ultra HD or something like more
than real life is it I mean, I was in Costco the other day, and they
showing this Ultra. And then they showing the difference like that
that's not even real life. They're showing a picture of a flower. And
I'm sure a flower doesn't look like that in real life. It's all
been specially manipulated to seem even more bright, and so on. So
it's unrealistic.
But we're very unrealistic people, they say the new Lego Movie is a
really nice movie. Everybody's going on about it.
I know people don't speak about movies in the masjid. But this is
the striking example. I haven't seen it. But I'm sure I've seen
advertisements of it. They say it's a really good movie. And
people are going to go into cinemas are going into cinemas.
And you're watching this for how long two hours, three hours,
whatever. And it's so ajeeb how humans work is that you can
actually you will have some kind of you will empathize with the
characters, even though they little blocks.
Right. And when they're in trouble, you'll actually feel
something when they get excited. And if there's a moment like that,
you will get exhausted, exhilarated and excited. So we
know though deep down, in fact, not deep down. We know that that
is totally false. It's artificial. But yet, we suspend all of our
intellect and we get into this for a particular reason.
These things when they were no artificial things like that in the
timeless will allah sallallahu Sallam only there was there was
entertainment clearly, but not nothing artificial, what
artificial would there be maybe puppets, you know, maximum.
Otherwise, it'd be people doing a show proper theater. But never
something like this way you could get pens to speak and cars, you
know, cars to start speaking to each other and romance and, and so
Hala people quite enjoy watching these things. It just shows what
where we are, that we enjoy these things.
And we can empathize.
So zoo, the zoo is regardless of whether you're in need of that
thing or not. In fact, if you are in need of that thing, and you
still don't take it, then that's even a higher level of Zod. That's
a higher level of abstinence. So then he says it's all good, but
obviously, a person who abstains from something despite needing it,
and having ability to get it. So you need it and you can acquire
it, but you still abstain for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala
that's going to be the higher level of Zod than somebody who
can't get it in the first place. But alhamdulillah his heart is
fine about it. Or the person doesn't need it anyway and it's
extra.
Okay, so what the our author is saying here, the poet is saying
here is that he also he already discussed about the mountains that
already gave us an impression that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam with the world could not seduce him. So now he says he's
saying it very clearly. And he is making it an explicit statement
here. That despite the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
he had such a high him and he had so much good and despite
apparently being in need,
because that's another thing.
One is you look at somebody they've got tattoo clothing on
they've got worn out
You know, worn shoes, etc. They seem to be in need, apparently.
But in their heart, are they really in need or not?
Do you understand? Because what is need? Is it what you see of
something? Or is it what you feel about something. So there's those
levels that you have to think about. Despite all of that,
the Prophet sallallahu never turned his attention to these
things. And his high him whenever it was always about other things
which were to do that with the hereafter. It wasn't about
acquiring this world.
And
it's nature that when you need something,
when you are in need of something, your heart will obviously desire
that thing. It's like I need it. So I desire it. And that's quite a
natural thing, you will have some kind of
greed, you will have some kind of avarice, you'll have some kind of
interest towards that thing.
All of this proves that the professor lesson was the on the
highest level of Zod.
And it was absolutely volitional and voluntary is not by force,
something that he had.
Chosen, chosen.
We know we've read the Shamel. We know many, many Hadith in which
it's mentioned that the Allah subhanaw taala promised him
everything. And the author already gave an example in the previous
ones about the mountain stunning to gold for him. But he refused
all of this.
So despite that he is sleeping hungry. Despite that he's fasting
in the daytime and those where there's nothing to eat no
breakfast in the day, he knows there's no breakfast is going to
be no lunch, he's fasting. And despite all of that he dies, while
being in debt, in a sense, not in debt, but his.
His coat of armor was given pawn to somebody as security for money
that he'd learned from him, or for some, for some supplies that he'd
taken from him. And there's many, many stories which I don't want to
go through again, because we've read all of these stories before
in the Shamal.
The reason is that he had known that his beloved which is Allah
subhanaw taala his master.
The world did not amount anything to the master.
So when you know that, to the one you are doing everything for,
there's no value in this. Why should Why should you hold
something in value that your master doesn't hold in value? And
this is exactly what it is. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, whoever Allah subhanho wa Taala will give Tofik to abstain
from the dunya that means he loves him. That's why Allah the Prophet,
Allah some said is headford dunya you heybrook Allah, show
abstinence, be abstinent from the world and Allah will love you.
Because that's the world that takes people away from the dunya.
When we say absence, we don't mean like you just sit and do nothing.
You use the world but you don't allow it to get into your heart.
And your choices are not made based on that your choices are
made for the hereafter. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said in a famous Hadith, lo Carnatic dunya Tenzin are in the
law he Jana Baroda tiene ma circle kerferd Omar Sokka Catherine Amin
had
Jarrah Touma in a charlatan mimma
which means that if this world was valued, in the sight of Allah
subhanho wa taala, as much as the one wing, just one wing of a
mosquito, he would not have given any disbeliever even a drop of
water to drink. Because the question that comes out in our
mind is that if they're denying Allah, how come they're still
getting so much of the dunya? Well, the reason for it is Allah
doesn't care for the dunya have as much of it as you want.
Because if he did care, even that much, he would obviously not give
it to those who denied him. So that's a proof. That's why there
is this long narration that's mentioned.
And I'm not sure what the reference of it is, but even Ijebu
mentions it here. That when Allah subhanaw taala created the dunya
he looked towards it. Now he created dunya and he never looked
towards it.
And he told a day
after Allah subhanaw taala created the world, he told a fly that why
don't you buy it from me? This dunya is for sale. Buy it from me.
I was a fly a Mosquito gonna buy a dunya
what assets does it have?
So he says Bhima they are Rob. What am I going to bite with? What
am I going to buy this dunya How am I going to buy it from you?
What kind of currency do I have? You said I had the Jenna hake, one
of your wings.
If
that's the value of it, one of your wings, what am I going to do
with the rest?
He says, then go on to the world and just relax in there.
He said, No, I don't have anything like this. Your arterial hayati,
which is going I don't have any. I don't have any need in something
which is because what once one wing is given, how is it going to
fly?
So the fly has more sense. This mosquito has mostly it says that I
don't have any need
in doing something which will make my life redundant because I will
no longer be the animal that I am. One of my main features are gone.
So what's the point of it? Allahu Akbar.
And
the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, it fully understood the
dunya and it's slowly nature and that we're just here for a while.
We're just here for a while. Because Allah subhanaw taala says
in the process lesson was the most knowledgeable of the Quran. So
when this verse in the dunya
in the Manhyia, to dunya, Allah Ebola, very the life of this world
is just a plaything
and a vain pastime.
Somebody who recognize this this well, how can you think any other
way fully a clean and conviction in this, that this is what my Lord
is saying? But I know he made it and this is what he's saying. How
can you think any other other way in methyl hayati? Dunya karma and
de la Homina sama for Toby Hina Berto out Allah subhanho wa Taala
strikes the example of this world, the nature of this world, he says,
Verily the example or the parable of the life of this world, the
life of this world, when you talk about the dunya we obviously
intrinsically that dunya is not haram. You know, the soil around
it's not haram. It's the way we interact with it. It's the life we
live in it or that it causes us to live. That's the problem.
Otherwise, intrinsically, nothing is haram. It's not. It's not. It's
not dirty in that sense. That's why he's Allah subhanaw taala
says, Verily, the parable the example of the life of this dunya
is like water, which ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada has caused to descend from
the heavens, and then Allah subhanaw taala continues along
example, but ignore the RB he mentions here, Rahim Allah, that
the there's a certain reason why Allah subhanaw taala has provided
a parable of this dunya with water
with the rain, with the rain from the heavens, the water from the
heavens. Number one, he says that, just as you can't cause it to
rain,
you don't have rain by choice. You can't stop rain by choice either.
That's why we're suffering here in California. They're asking for
rain.
achieve nirvana of Allah says that, okay, you know, transfer
some over there, reflect some over there is push some clouds up
there, put some something up there that pushes the clouds in that
direction or something. I mean,
so just like you can't have you can't cause rain to shower at your
bidding. Likewise, you can't really, if you know the way things
really work, you can't have you can't gain the dunya at your own
asking. It's all Taksim. It's a dunya Amok zoom. It's it's already
been distributed. It's already been decreed exactly how much
we're going to get. So you can't get any more than that. It seems
in our apparent you know, Lego like lives outside you know, that
we're getting in you know, we're doing so stuff and with cause and
effect and so on. But at the end of the day, Allah subhanaw taala
this is all decreed. Allah says nano Kasam nabina hamari chateau.
We've distributed when we've decreed the distribution of the,
of the militia of the livelihood
as you mentioned, so to Zuko. And
so that's why that's the example of the life of this world and what
we get as compared to the terrain. Another reason why the parable is
there is how do we how do people ask for rain, when they need it?
You do is discard, you make dua, you do Todaro, you
humbly and treat ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. You make you make sadaqa you
do all of these things into Hana. Then Allah says drain as as
happens. So rain is sent because rain is a mercy. It's sent by by
robber.
Likewise, the dunya
the dunya as well the pure dunya is going to begin through dua.
Otherwise haram dunya you will get lots of it even without asking. So
the pure do
knew that was of benefit is going to be given. Otherwise, there's
lots of rain but then it causes harm.
So the good rain that the one that you want, you have to ask Allah
subhanaw taala for it. Or if, if Allah subhanaw taala wants to give
it to you, you know, these are not absolutes, because Allah could
want to give it to you otherwise. Number three,
that, in one sense, the rain is a cause for life.
We created everything from water.
So water, so when light comes from
the rain from the heavens, Allah subhanaw taala, sends it down,
goes back up, comes back down.
That's how Allah subhanaw taala does Taksim of the rain. Ijebu
isn't it? It goes up evaporates from around the world. And Allah
subhanaw taala decides, has decided where to now send it. So
different places get more in what is transferred from one area to
the other?
Big.
The other thing is, have you ever thought about this? How many what
percentage of us is water? It's a huge percentage isn't something 85
It's a huge percent, it's the majority, right major percentage.
When we're in the earth and we become decomposed our water it
goes into the groundwater.
Somehow this water gets back into the system. So essentially, we've
gone back and the system has taken its course.
Now so far, the other ways of being disposed of or laid to rest
is lots of people are doing cremation, which is obviously
fine, which is completely haram because it's like you are asking
for fire. Right? Fire is totally
is something we want to avoid. That's why
according to Muslim ethics, in a battle, in Muslim war situation as
well, you're not allowed to punish the enemy with fire, as in burn
them like that. Unless, of course, shooting arrows is a different
story, but burning them etc. The other thing that we have to
realize, which is very interesting is that
a lot of these modern day technologies like the atom bomb
and things like this many Muslims, I mean, they saw this initially,
but they thought that this was completely haram and wrong, it's
against the ethics. So they avoided it. Now unfortunately,
Muslim countries are trying to follow suit because they're just
trying to keep up. It's a really weird decision. It's a really
weird situation in the world that we have. A lot of what we could
consider modernity today was the Muslim world was exposed to it.
But they refuse to take it because they thought this goes against the
ethics of our life of this world.
But now, it becomes very difficult. And of course, we have
made mistakes in certain aspects and so on as well. But
then we have just as water then, now what I was saying is they're
trying to find other ways of
disposing of bodies. So one is cremation, which is quite popular.
The other one is burial. In, in America, they've come up with
another idea, which is to put the body in a in a bath of alkali, so
not acid, alkali. And what it does to the body is that eventually it
turns it completely into white ash. So all the water content is,
is drained away. What it does to the body essentially decomposes
it, like what the Earth would do over several months, this does in
a moment, in a very short amount of time, maybe a few hours, or
however long it takes. So it's not an acid bath. So it doesn't sound
so gruesome, you know, decomposing a body and an acid bath, which
seems like torture. This is actually in the opposite of acid,
which is alkali. And what they're saying is that this is exactly
what happens in the ground is the same system that is the same
chemical system, which just takes much longer. We're doing it in a
more in a few moments, because we've taken the same kind of
alkalis and it is you will end up with white ash. And you can then
bury that there's a third system that they're trying, which is not
on the market yet, which is
liquid nitrogen. So you put the body in, you freeze it down to a
very high level using literally liquid nitrogen, and then they
shake it. So it shatters into, you know, 1000s of pieces or however
many hundreds of 1000s of pieces. And then they process that and
that's I don't think that's on the market yet. They're doing that I
forget which country is doing that right now? Or where they are
trials on this? But it's like you you freeze it down so it
It comes totally brittle. It's all water, right? It comes totally
brittle. And then you just shake it and you just totally
disintegrate into small small pieces, obviously all done in the
machine. But that's just goes against the whole
value. And you know, even though there's no life left, we're told
to bury them correctly and nicely.
So these are things, these are going to be challenges, these are
going to be things that okay, it's not fire anymore.
This is done the same system as the ground is just faster. We're
running out of land, please, like London is expensive. This seems
like a good idea, this is going to be the challenge for the scholars
of Islam. Because you're going to see people who are going to
justify this and are going to do these things.
Obviously, even today, there are many who many non Muslims who
don't agree with that, I just think it's, it goes against the
value of, you know, our bodies, even though we're we're not living
anymore.
We're not living anymore. But these are things to, to think
about. So firstly, going back to this, and the parable,
rain
is the cause for life. And it can also become the cause of
destruction. You see how those torrents of water just come in,
and just sweep everything away?
Right, it just sweep everything away. And so just as water is, in
one sense, it has the capacity of being the cause for life. And for
our survival, we need water.
And on the opposing end, it could be obviously a cause for
destruction as well. Likewise, wealth has the same
characteristics, it can be caught, it can be the cause for great
benefits both of this world and benefit in the hereafter by
spending it in the right way, as Allah has told us to spend it.
When is where we have to spend it as an obligation in survival,
somebody's got money, but they're so miserly, they're so stingy,
that they can't go and buy something, and they die because of
that. Right? That would be haram. Because I mean,
and I guarantee you, there must be somebody like that in the world.
Because we have all sorts of people. There's those hoarders,
who then die in their own Hoard. They get crushed, because they
just hold and hoard and hoard. I mean, I look at those stories, and
I think SubhanAllah.
So that's, in one sense.
There's that it's obligatory to spend on yourself and everybody
else that is dependent on you, that's worship, and then to give
you as a cut, that's also necessary, then there's a level
beyond that which is encouraged, encouraged from a shittier
perspective, which is to give charity, voluntary charity,
then from a social perspective, which is to be hospitable. So
you're always going out with your friends, and there's only one or
two guys that always spent and you never even make an effort to show
that you're spending or that you don't even make their offer,
you'll just stand in the back or you go to wash your hands or you
go toilet. So that's considered miserly, because socially it's not
acceptable. Islam takes into consideration social factors as
long as they don't contribute Islam. So that's spending in the
path of Allah subhanaw taala spending where it's good, that
becomes a source of reward for you and dignity and honor, but in to
spend it in other than the place where it's entitled to be spend or
recommended to be spent to has to be spent, then that becomes a
source of distraction for the person is becomes a source of
tyranny becomes a source of arrogance, it becomes a source of
ostentation, showing off, and haram because then you got lots of
money, then you want to spend it here, there on the other for
disobedience. So like, likewise, with the rain, sometimes the rain
is of great benefit, it's a source of great benefit, but then it can
also be the source of great harm as well. And number four,
is that when rain descends according to the amount that's
required, then it benefits it provides the absolute necessary
sustenance for survival. Otherwise, the cost of wheat etc
goes up because there becomes the demand. There's not enough supply.
And if the rain there's too much rain that descends more than the
need, then it's harmful. Somebody gave us gave me some flowers the
other day, not flowers, but like a plant with nice leaves and these
really nice thick leaves and they're not leaves, but they're
these really thick, spongy green.
I don't know what you call them and then some weird flowers on it
as well.
I left him in my office and I went home for three days. I forgot to
bring him home from Cambridge. So when I got there on Monday, they
all dropped because there was no washroom they brought him home.
started feeding water and mashallah they came up, then I
think it was my daughter, she bought a bit too much water. So
again, problem. So too much water is a problem too less water is a
problem, you just have to give it enough.
That's what you're saying here as well. If the wealth is enough for
you, it will benefit you. And you will benefit from it and you will
enjoy it to that level. But sometimes money gets to your head,
then you start acting like you have lots of power, because you
can. There was some drug guy that was busted, his place was busted.
And if you see the pictures of that place, it's absolutely crazy.
He's got wardrobes full of cash. He's got wardrobes, literally full
of cash, every wardrobe in the house, he's got cash stacks of it,
not millions, we're talking about billions. So he can buy anything
he wants in this world. He can buy any one in this world, except the
few who have principles. Somebody gives you a million pounds to just
look the other way. Why not? That's that's the way most people
will think, especially when you're getting paid too much anyway in
the first place. And it's all it's all people's destruction money. At
the end of the day, there's no brokenness. You don't even know
what to do with it. It's just there. He's just buying loads and
loads of guns he was buying. He had more guns than anybody else.
Gold guns, gold plated guns and just weird obsessions. This is
what this is. This is an extreme level, obviously. But to
everybody's level is that
you have a lot of money than you're going to want to go and
have high a friend of mine. He goes, You know, I'm going to take
you out to tea I said where he says I can't remember what high
tea 60 pounds. I said no, man I said I don't feel right.
I thought 60 pounds I mean, okay, 20 pounds maybe but 60 pounds for
it.
I you know, you get the nice? What do you call those scones and not
sponge cake.
I just couldn't make myself go.
Because I just thought it's, it's too much. It's just too much.
But you when you have lots of money, no problem.
It's not haram, you have to get me right. It's just when you start
indulging and becoming greedy, and showing off these other problems.
And if you have lots of money, and you're buying nice things, for
yourself or for others, there's nothing wrong with that. But it's
there's there's a line between these things. Anyway. What the,
what the author now says is in a durata Eduardo aissami reason
comes from Islam is the same word it means protection. It Some say
that this actually refers to the people who are protected, who are
the people who are infallible and protected by Allah, the prophets.
They're the only ones. So that's why he he said he's giving now the
reason why the professor Lawson was just so aloof to all of this,
because he says what occurred the zoo, the houfy had the rue de
Rura. to that. What he says his constraint through poverty only
confirmed is detachment from them. One is we're claiming that the
promise of the Larson was as he was abstinent and detached from
the world.
What confirms this, and emphasizes this is the fact that he was in
need, because he used to go for many days without food. So that
proves that he had need still he refused to have it, which means
that he has genuine Xvid genuine abstinence. Then he said that the
reason for this is because he's of a special category. Prophets are
not going to be prone to problems in this nature. Because need does
not bother them because they've got a higher motive and a higher
him. So that's what he's saying here in the Quran, Allah dua,
Allah aissami A need such as his shall never lead to transgression
kind of very general translation what it is, is that need does not
violate or does not.
You can say
a need does not encroach on to those who are divinely protected,
need will not effect them. Because they are divinely present. Allah
knows exactly how he wants to keep them and they are, they are in the
in that stage. Right. Then he says that he's never going to do
anything that is considered to be unfavorable in the sight of Allah
subhanho wa Taala because he has the special protection and rehire
of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. And among all the prophets, so he's
talking about a category of people which are all the prophets in
general. Now, when you look at all the prophets, then among them the
most superior is Rasulullah Salah. So the way our commentary talks
about that he says that the most superior industry God and the
greatest industry, God is the one who this entire existence came
into being because of him. This is referring to a particular Hadith
which we'll cover later. And he is the one who has brought light to
this earth. Lights of guidance, light of generosity, light in all
forms. Otherwise we'd be in darkness.
He is the leader of the early ones in the later ones, he is the seal
of the all the prophets and the messengers. And that is why, then
the the poet says, what can you filter through Illa dunya dura to
mon Lola who alum Raji dunya, mineral Atomy, how can poverty
tempt him to worldliness when it was for him the world had been
brought from the void. He was because of him the whole world was
created. Why then does he want the world when he was created for him
in the first place, and if it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have
been created. This is based on a hadith that's mentioned.
Let's look at this hadith, Imam Hakim and be happy they've related
in which it mentions that Allah subhanahu wa taala
said to other mothers salaam,
you know, when the whole incident took place about eating from the
Forbidden growth, whatever it was, then other medicinal had to seek
forgiveness. And for a number of years, he was trying to seek
forgiveness. Then he remembered it mentions that you remembered that
on top of the Orisha of Allah that he had witnessed, he noticed that
it said La ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasulullah so then he said I asked
you by Mohammed he must be somebody special and then he was
forgiven. So when Allah subhana wa Tada when other Malisa must Allah
subhanho wa Taala due to Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam that he be
forgiven, whatever he did, you know, whatever that slipped, that
occurred with him. And he had seen this, it says here on the pillars
of the ash that was written that you know, he Allah Muhammad Rasul
Allah.
So then Allah subhanho wa Taala said to him, Sir Elton, EB hockey
and alcoholic liquor the refer to luck, that you have asked me by
the right of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to forgive you.
So I forgiven you, while Allah Who ma Holika. And if it wasn't for
him, I would not have created you. So this is the Hadith they get it
from. This is the Hadith that is the basis for this entire
discussion, that if it wasn't for you, I would not if it wasn't for
him, I would not have created you. You've just asked me by the right
with the right name of the right entity. So even though other money
has some comes before him, and he is his great grandfather, but all
of that is a system through which Allah subhanaw taala wants to
bring Muhammad said Allahu Allah yourself. I mean, if Allah
subhanaw taala says, To the kuffar to rasool Allah Salah and during
his time that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada, what is the ayah will
interview him now you as the boom, woman can Allah will you as the
boom will interview, Allah is not gonna punish them while you're
among them.
It's not going to happen as much as how bad they are, whatever they
are, but you're being there. It's even a source of protection for
them in this world, at least, at least they've got something going
in this world in the Hereafter has, but in this world, you're a
source of mercy even to the disbelievers, that Allah, can you
what loving statement is that? Allah is not going to punish them
while you are among them.
If that's the only verse in the Quran about Muhammad Salah and
that's Subhanallah then shows you his status. May Allah bring us
close to him?
May Allah allow us to drink from his hole and in the hereafter?
So that's the basis of all of this. I just wanted to clarify
that from the, you know, as we continue into this poem, so then,
after mentioning all of this, the poet, he just says in amazement,
he says, how can the dunya or any need of the world, invite him away
and take him away from his detachment from it when it was for
him that he was created? How can he ever desire the dunya when it
was created for him and he knew it? And that's why the poet says

To the earth, many who's buried in the earth. And by by his burial
there, everything surrounding it has also become extremely,
extremely beneficial and extremely bounteous and valuable. And today
that is the case, those properties around that area, I mean, even
economically speaking like the out of the roof, there's some bichara
Poor guy who has been struggling, and now be due to the expansion to
have to take his house, and he's going to become a millionaire
overnight. There's another, another shake today. I know from
South Africa, who's who owns a an apartment. In those woods. Those
suites are x suites.
Above the Tabor center, in Madina Munawwara
it's the first building on is the first building as you go out from
that middle gate. It's the first building on your left, he's got a
suite up there, and he bought it about five years ago, or six years
ago. Now they want to get rid of these. So he's saying that he's
going to make, I don't know some crazy amount by which he can buy
another apartment and still have so much money leftover. So you
just can't go wrong there. But obviously, if you've got the right
reason, the right intention, then and his intention was to be in he
says, I have prayed in the first Soph. I've prayed in the first
line so many times, especially in the days because he lives there.
He is actually now is an Indian origin, but now he's actually
teaching heads in the masjid because they finally approved him
to teach the you have to go through some rigorous tests or
something. That's his life. That's what he wants. Subhanallah and
there's other people who I know unfortunately, they moved out of
Medina, mora Warren come to the west, looking for better
education, looking for freedom, looking for I don't know, what
reason and what reason, a jeep.
So he says here, that this by him, everything else becomes extremely
pleasant. You are the messenger, whose intercession can be hoped
for. At the on the causeway the spirit on the causeway over

people will slip. You're the one who is there who's shuffle can be

sun neither the moon, neither stars, neither the divine tablet
nor the divine nor the pen would have been created. My enough's and
myself is sacrifice for the grave in which which you dwell. And in
it is chastity and in it is Jude and Quran. In it is generosity,
and benevolence. There's a famous story that's related about a
similar poem, Which Imam no we mentioned is in his GitHub, and of
course, that there was a an article wrote to be he says, I was
sitting there in the masjid in Norway. And this Arabi, this
desert Arab just suddenly walks in goes up to the grave. Those days,
you could do those kinds of things. It was quite casual.
There's nobody there shouting at you. So he went up there and he
said, these poems now he first started off with the verse in the
Quran, which says that was stuck for Allah Hamid Rasulullah Vegeta,
Allah Azza wa Rahima. Basically, if they come to you, and they see,
and you know, the prophet seeks forgiveness for them, then Allah
subhanaw taala will forgive you to them, right? He comes in, he reads
that. And then he he reads his poem.
He reads his poem. And then he reads those verses, and then he
goes away. And what we say is that I fell into a slumber I was
sitting there and you know, we've been sitting there for a while he
fell into a slumber and he says, I saw a solar cell or something, my
dream and the words are awesome said to said to me, go catch up
with that Arabi that there's an Arab and go and tell him that
Allah has forgiven him. So I woke up and I rushed out, I caught him
and I said, You know what, this is what happened and Allah has
forgiven you.
Of course, you know, you can do this but it doesn't necessarily
going to happen to everybody, special times, situations and
places. But
this is mentioned by Imam knowing so this is a very similar poem to
this. So that's what this poem is about. And I think the next one is
Mohammedan say you will co Nene with taka Laney welfare Yuka in
immunoglobin Wamena. Jimmy, this is the first poem in this sofa,
where he's mentioning by name is saying Mohammed is the master of
both worlds, both kinds, and both companies, Arabs and non Arabs are
prophet to commands and forbids there is none more faithful to His
word, whether yes or no. So inshallah we'll continue with
that.

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when we hear it, but we're unable to
translate it into real life when we get back home. Oh Allah give us

allow the benefits of this to linger. Allow the benefits of this
to endure to benefit us and to illuminate our life, to guide us
in our life. Oh Allah. That's the whole purpose of this. It's not
for entertainment. It's not just for that. It's not for that. It's
for benefit and our Allah, we ask you that you're the only one who
can grant us the benefits of Allah give us the trophy to purify our
hearts so that when these Naseeha, and these advices are mentioned
and related, they penetrate our hearts and they stay there for
longer than they do at this point. Oh Allah, we asked you that. You
turned to us with Your Mercy of Allah, one gaze of yours, to us
with Your mercy will be sufficient. Oh, Allah, don't
consider us to be so despicable that you never treat us with Mercy
of Allah. We hear about so many of the pious, who were treated with
Mercy of Allah who are treated with mercy. We hear about one of
the Sahaba who had a loud voice, and Allah you revealed that
Pharaoh swatter confocal Sultan Nabhi Don't raise your voice above
the above the voice of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So the
Sahaba we went and sat in his house and didn't come out and
thought that he had been destroyed, because he had a loud
voice. And when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam missed
him, he asked about him. And people told him that he thinks
that he's destroyed and Your Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, that no, he's not. He's from Jana, and people, then
you see him going around on the street. And they would say that
he's from Ghana, that he is a person who's been guaranteed Jana.
Oh, Allah. Oh, Allah, that's a very high status to ask for. But
we ask that you make us at least of the people of Jana, and you
make us do things that will take us to Jana. And that makes us
think that we're somewhere closer to your paradise and to Jannah Oh
ALLAH that we're closer to gaining your pleasure of Allah, we ask
that you make this these difficulties of this life easy for
us to deal with, oh, Allah, your rivers of mercy are constantly
flowing. But we are so deprived that we can't access them. Oh
Allah, we're so deprived that we cannot access them, of Allah, even
if you give us a drop, it would be sufficient. Oh Allah, we ask you,
we ask you like, like those who are in need, who ask, Oh Allah, we
make no pretenses about this, that only you you're the only one we
can ask. And there is nobody else there is no other door we can go
to. There's other footsteps that we can stand that. And there's no
other place that we can persist. For Allah we ask you, that you
benefit us. And you forgive us, O Allah, that you grant us sadaqa
and charity, in the form of forgiveness, in the form of Tofik
in the form of purity of our heart, in the form of obedience,
the ability to do good sweetness of faith.
And you You protect us from disobedience any love for
disobedience, any love for disobedience, that you take it
away from our heart, Oh Allah, we ask that you purify us you purify
us and you make the best of our days the day that we stand in
front of you, and that your messenger Salah lesson does not
turn his head away from us. Or Allah we ask finally that you send
you a copy as blessings on your messenger Muhammad sallallahu

The next step is to actually start learning seriously, to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware
of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan
courses so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand
whenever you have free time, especially for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we have on the Islamic essentials
certificate which you take 20 Short modules and at the end of
that inshallah you will have gotten the basics of most of the
most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more confident.
You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue to live,
you know, to listen to lectures, but you need to have this more
sustained study as well as local law here in salaam aleikum wa
rahmatullah wa barakato.
